What's new in Render a House.
A running log of user-facing changes β new features, improvements, and fixes.
Monday, May 4, 2026
New
- Share. Turn any project into an interactive link β recipients can flip through renders and videos, fly through the 3D model, and leave pinned comments, all without an editor account. Works on every plan, including Free. See Share.
- Thumbs up/down on every render. A π / π button in the editor toolbar lets you rate any render in one click; tapping π opens a quick comment box so you can tell us what went wrong. We read every piece of feedback and ship fixes as fast as we can β your taps directly shape what we improve next.
Billing
- New Basic and Studio plans. Pro is no longer the only paid tier. Basic ($19/mo, 120 credits/mo, 20 credits/day cap, rollover up to 1,200) is for occasional users who want paid features without committing to higher monthly volume. Studio ($99/mo, 1,000 credits/mo, no daily cap, rollover up to 10,000) is for studios and high-volume teams. Both include all paid features (no watermark, Video, Copy Render, priority queue). Basic does not support extra credit top-ups β upgrade to Pro or Studio for that. See Plans and Pricing.
- Switch plans from inside the app. A new Change your plan dialog lets paid subscribers move between Basic, Pro, and Studio (or between monthly and annual on the same tier). Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of your current billing period.
- Plan picker now shows all three tiers side-by-side with a shared credits comparison table, so you can see exactly what each plan includes before subscribing or switching.
- Welcome message uses your actual plan name β "Welcome to Basic!", "Welcome to Pro!", or "Welcome to Studio!" β instead of always saying Pro.

Improved
- "Chat with human" moved into the user menu. The support chat shortcut is no longer a standalone button in the top bar β open the avatar menu (top-right) β Chat with human for the same one-click access to in-app support.

Billing
- Buy extra credits without leaving the app. When you run out mid-flow as a Pro subscriber, an "out of credits" dialog now offers a Buy extra credits button. Top up at $0.20/credit with $10 / $20 presets or a custom amount (min $5). Extras share the same balance as your monthly allowance.
- Automatic recharge (auto top-up). Optionally enable an automatic recharge that fires when your credit balance falls below a threshold you set. Configurable amount, capped at 10 recharges per month, email confirmation on every recharge, disable any time. See Plans and Pricing β Automatic recharge.
- New in-app
/settings/billingpage. The avatar menu's billing entry now opens a dedicated billing page inside the app with plan summary, credit balance breakdown (monthly vs. purchased), buy-more-credits CTA, auto-recharge controls, and a link to the Stripe portal for payment methods and invoices.

New
- 3D Preview Β· Flatten terrain. Mark a polygon on the satellite view to wipe out existing buildings or obstacles before placing your model. Floor material and elevation are adjustable. See 3D Preview.
- OBJ is now confirmed as a supported import format alongside GLB and GLTF. See Supported file formats.
Improved
- Renders show downloaded and enhanced badges so you can see at a glance which ones you've already exported or upscaled.
- Tooltips on every button in the viewer's bottom toolbar.
- The 3D Preview onboarding card now shows up only the first time you open it on a device.
Fixed
- 3D models snap correctly onto the terrain.

Monday, April 27, 2026
Billing
- Pricing and credits migration is live. Existing legacy subscriptions keep their original benefits. See Plans and pricing.
- The paywall now shows the credit cost of each generation up front.
Improved
- Resolution adjusts automatically when you switch the model, so you can't end up with an unsupported combination.
Fixed
- Enhance is properly blocked when you don't have enough credits.
Friday, April 24, 2026
New
- Enhance creates a new render as a child of the original instead of overwriting it. You can compare before and after, and go back any time. See Refine and iterate.
- Documentation is now available in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.
- If you sign in without any projects, one is created for you automatically.
Improved
- Interior views skip the Location field, since it didn't affect the result.
- Footer support is now an Intercom chat button (replacing the email link).
